I have a Pentium 233 that was running 4.5-RELEASE whose boot drive went belly up last week. Fortunately, I have a "atapci1: <Promise TX2 ATA133 controller>" which provides access to my primary data drives, so merely replacing the failed boot drive that lived on the onboard ide controller would not result in a loss of critical data.
Unfortunately, it appears that the fresh install of 4.8-RELEASE on a new, replacement boot drive is unable to mount the "old" drives on the Promise controller. Dmesg output still conveys that the controller and drive names (ad4, ad5, ad7) are found, but disklabel reports "disklabel: bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)" and attempts to mount fail. Please see below. I am inexperienced at migrations like this, and fear the loss of this large amount of critical data. See details below. Any help is appreciated. Thx. --Bill McMilleon
